+mozbase
+=======
+
+Mozbase is a set of easy-to-use Python packages forming a supplemental standard
+library for Mozilla. It provides consistency and reduces redundancy in
+automation and other system-level software. All of Mozilla's test harnesses use
+mozbase to some degree, including Talos_, mochitest_, reftest_, Autophone_, and
+Eideticker_.
+
+.. _Talos: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Talos
+
+.. _mochitest: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mochitest
+
+.. _reftest: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Creating_reftest-based_unit_tests
+
+.. _Autophone: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/AutoPhone
+
+.. _Eideticker: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Project_Eideticker
+
+In the course of writing automated tests at Mozilla, we found that
+the same tasks came up over and over, regardless of the specific nature of
+what we were testing. We figured that consolidating this code into a set of
+libraries would save us a good deal of time, and so we spent some effort
+factoring out the best-of-breed automation code into something we named
+"mozbase" (usually written all in lower case except at the beginning of a
+sentence).
+
+This is the main documentation for users of mozbase. There is also a
+project_ wiki page with notes on development practices and administration.
+
+.. _project: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/Mozbase
+
+The documentation is organized by category, then by module. Figure out what you
+want to do then dive in!

+Managing lists of tests
+=======================
+
+.. py:currentmodule:: manifestparser
+
+We don't always want to run all tests, all the time. Sometimes a test
+may be broken, in other cases we only want to run a test on a specific
+platform or build of Mozilla. To handle these cases (and more), we
+created a python library to create and use test "manifests", which
+codify this information.
+
+:mod:`manifestparser` --- Create and manage test manifests
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+manifestparser lets you easily create and use test manifests, to
+control which tests are run under what circumstances.
+
+What manifestparser gives you:
+
+* manifests are ordered lists of tests
+* tests may have an arbitrary number of key, value pairs
+* the parser returns an ordered list of test data structures, which
+ are just dicts with some keys. For example, a test with no
+ user-specified metadata looks like this:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ [{'expected': 'pass',
+ 'path': '/home/mozilla/mozmill/src/manifestparser/manifestparser/tests/testToolbar/testBackForwardButtons.js',
+ 'relpath': 'testToolbar/testBackForwardButtons.js',
+ 'name': 'testBackForwardButtons.js',
+ 'here': '/home/mozilla/mozmill/src/manifestparser/manifestparser/tests',
+ 'manifest': '/home/mozilla/mozmill/src/manifestparser/manifestparser/tests/manifest.ini',}]
+
+The keys displayed here (path, relpath, name, here, and manifest) are
+reserved keys for manifestparser and any consuming APIs. You can add
+additional key, value metadata to each test.
+
+Why have test manifests?
+````````````````````````
+
+It is desirable to have a unified format for test manifests for testing
+[mozilla-central](http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central), etc.
+
+* It is desirable to be able to selectively enable or disable tests based on platform or other conditions. This should be easy to do. Currently, since many of the harnesses just crawl directories, there is no effective way of disabling a test except for removal from mozilla-central
+* It is desriable to do this in a universal way so that enabling and disabling tests as well as other tasks are easily accessible to a wider audience than just those intimately familiar with the specific test framework.
+* It is desirable to have other metadata on top of the test. For instance, let's say a test is marked as skipped. It would be nice to give the reason why.
+
+
+Most Mozilla test harnesses work by crawling a directory structure.
+While this is straight-forward, manifests offer several practical
+advantages:
+
+* ability to turn a test off easily: if a test is broken on m-c
+ currently, the only way to turn it off, generally speaking, is just
+ removing the test. Often this is undesirable, as if the test should
+ be dismissed because other people want to land and it can't be
+ investigated in real time (is it a failure? is the test bad? is no
+ one around that knows the test?), then backing out a test is at best
+ problematic. With a manifest, a test may be disabled without
+ removing it from the tree and a bug filed with the appropriate
+ reason:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ [test_broken.js]
+ disabled = https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123456
+
+* ability to run different (subsets of) tests on different
+ platforms. Traditionally, we've done a bit of magic or had the test
+ know what platform it would or would not run on. With manifests, you
+ can mark what platforms a test will or will not run on and change
+ these without changing the test.
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ [test_works_on_windows_only.js]
+ skip-if = os != 'win'
+
+* ability to markup tests with metadata. We have a large, complicated,
+ and always changing infrastructure. key, value metadata may be used
+ as an annotation to a test and appropriately curated and mined. For
+ instance, we could mark certain tests as randomorange with a bug
+ number, if it were desirable.
+
+* ability to have sane and well-defined test-runs. You can keep
+ different manifests for different test runs and ``[include:]``
+ (sub)manifests as appropriate to your needs.
+
+Manifest Format
+````````
+
+Manifests are .ini file with the section names denoting the path
+relative to the manifest:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ [foo.js]
+ [bar.js]
+ [fleem.js]
+
+The sections are read in order. In addition, tests may include
+arbitrary key, value metadata to be used by the harness. You may also
+have a `[DEFAULT]` section that will give key, value pairs that will
+be inherited by each test unless overridden:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ [DEFAULT]
+ type = restart
+
+ [lilies.js]
+ color = white
+
+ [daffodils.js]
+ color = yellow
+ type = other
+ # override type from DEFAULT
+
+ [roses.js]
+ color = red
+
+You can also include other manifests:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ [include:subdir/anothermanifest.ini]
+
+And reference parent manifests to inherit keys and values from the DEFAULT
+section, without adding possible included tests.
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ [parent:../manifest.ini]
+
+Manifests are included relative to the directory of the manifest with
+the `[include:]` directive unless they are absolute paths.
+
+By default you can use both '#' and ';' as comment characters. Comments
+must start on a new line, inline comments are not supported.
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ [roses.js]
+ # a valid comment
+ ; another valid comment
+ color = red # not a valid comment
+
+In the example above, the 'color' property will have the value 'red #
+not a valid comment'.
+
+Special variable server-root
+````````````````````````````
+There is a special variable called `server-root` used for paths on the system.
+This variable is deemed a path and will be expanded into its absolute form.
+
+Because of the inheritant nature of the key/value pairs, if one requires a
+system path, it must be absolute for it to be of any use in any included file.
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ [DEFAULTS]
+ server-root = ../data
+
+ [test1.js]
+ server-root = test1/data
+
+Manifest Conditional Expressions
+````````````````````````````````
+The conditional expressions used in manifests are parsed using the *ExpressionParser* class.
+
+.. autoclass:: manifestparser.ExpressionParser
+
+Consumers of this module are expected to pass in a value dictionary
+for evaluating conditional expressions. A common pattern is to pass
+the dictionary from the :mod:`mozinfo` module.
+
+Data
+````
+
+Manifest Destiny gives tests as a list of dictionaries (in python
+terms).
+
+* path: full path to the test
+* relpath: relative path starting from the root directory. The root directory
+ is typically the location of the root manifest, or the source
+ repository. It can be specified at runtime by passing in `rootdir`
+ to `TestManifest`. Defaults to the directory containing the test's
+ ancestor manifest.
+* name: file name of the test
+* here: the parent directory of the manifest
+* manifest: the path to the manifest containing the test
+
+This data corresponds to a one-line manifest:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ [testToolbar/testBackForwardButtons.js]
+
+If additional key, values were specified, they would be in this dict
+as well.
+
+Outside of the reserved keys, the remaining key, values
+are up to convention to use. There is a (currently very minimal)
+generic integration layer in manifestparser for use of all harnesses,
+`manifestparser.TestManifest`.
+For instance, if the 'disabled' key is present, you can get the set of
+tests without disabled (various other queries are doable as well).
+
+Since the system is convention-based, the harnesses may do whatever
+they want with the data. They may ignore it completely, they may use
+the provided integration layer, or they may provide their own
+integration layer. This should allow whatever sort of logic is
+desired. For instance, if in yourtestharness you wanted to run only on
+mondays for a certain class of tests:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ tests = []
+ for test in manifests.tests:
+ if 'runOnDay' in test:
+ if calendar.day_name[calendar.weekday(*datetime.datetime.now().timetuple()[:3])].lower() == test['runOnDay'].lower():
+ tests.append(test)
+ else:
+ tests.append(test)
+
+To recap:
+* the manifests allow you to specify test data
+* the parser gives you this data
+* you can use it however you want or process it further as you need
+
+Tests are denoted by sections in an .ini file (see
+http://hg.mozilla.org/automation/manifestparser/file/tip/manifestparser/tests/mozmill-example.ini).
+
+Additional manifest files may be included with an `[include:]` directive:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ [include:path-to-additional-file.manifest]
+
+The path to included files is relative to the current manifest.
+
+The `[DEFAULT]` section contains variables that all tests inherit from.
+
+Included files will inherit the top-level variables but may override
+in their own `[DEFAULT]` section.
+
+manifestparser Architecture
+````````````````````````````
+
+There is a two- or three-layered approach to the manifestparser
+architecture, depending on your needs:
+
+1. ManifestParser: this is a generic parser for .ini manifests that
+facilitates the `[include:]` logic and the inheritence of
+metadata. Despite the internal variable being called `self.tests`
+(an oversight), this layer has nothing in particular to do with tests.
+
+2. TestManifest: this is a harness-agnostic integration layer that is
+test-specific. TestManifest faciliates `skip-if` logic.
+
+3. Optionally, a harness will have an integration layer than inherits
+from TestManifest if more harness-specific customization is desired at
+the manifest level.
+
+See the source code at https://github.com/mozilla/mozbase/tree/master/manifestparser
+and
+https://github.com/mozilla/mozbase/blob/master/manifestparser/manifestparser.py
+in particular.
+
+Filtering Manifests
+```````````````````
+
+After creating a `TestManifest` object, all manifest files are read and a list
+of test objects can be accessed via `TestManifest.tests`. However this list contains
+all test objects, whether they should be run or not. Normally they need to be
+filtered down only to the set of tests that should be run by the test harness.
+
+To do this, a test harness can call `TestManifest.active_tests`:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ tests = manifest.active_tests(exists=True, disabled=True, **tags)
+
+By default, `active_tests` runs the filters found in
+:attr:`~.DEFAULT_FILTERS`. It also accepts two convenience arguments:
+
+1. `exists`: if True (default), filter out tests that do not exist on the local file system.
+2. `disabled`: if True (default), do not filter out tests containing the 'disabled' key
+ (which can be set by `skip-if` manually).
+
+This works for simple cases, but there are other built-in filters, or even custom filters
+that can be applied to the `TestManifest`. To do so, add the filter to `TestManifest.filters`:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from manifestparser.filters import subsuite
+ import mozinfo
+
+ filters = [subsuite('devtools')]
+ tests = manifest.active_tests(filters=filters, **mozinfo.info)
+
+.. automodule:: manifestparser.filters
+ :members:
+ :exclude-members: filterlist,InstanceFilter,DEFAULT_FILTERS
+
+.. autodata:: manifestparser.filters.DEFAULT_FILTERS
+ :annotation:
+
+For example, suppose we want to introduce a new key called `timeout-if` that adds a
+'timeout' property to a test if a certain condition is True. The syntax in the manifest
+files will look like this:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ [test_foo.py]
+ timeout-if = 300, os == 'win'
+
+The value is <timeout>, <condition> where condition is the same format as the one in
+`skip-if`. In the above case, if os == 'win', a timeout of 300 seconds will be
+applied. Otherwise, no timeout will be applied. All we need to do is define the filter
+and add it:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from manifestparser.expression import parse
+ import mozinfo
+
+ def timeout_if(tests, values):
+ for test in tests:
+ if 'timeout-if' in test:
+ timeout, condition = test['timeout-if'].split(',', 1)
+ if parse(condition, **values):
+ test['timeout'] = timeout
+ yield test
+
+ tests = manifest.active_tests(filters=[timeout_if], **mozinfo.info)
+
+Creating Manifests
+``````````````````
+
+manifestparser comes with a console script, `manifestparser create`, that
+may be used to create a seed manifest structure from a directory of
+files. Run `manifestparser help create` for usage information.
+
+Copying Manifests
+`````````````````
+
+To copy tests and manifests from a source:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ manifestparser [options] copy from_manifest to_directory -tag1 -tag2 `key1=value1 key2=value2 ...
+
+Updating Tests
+``````````````
+
+To update the tests associated with with a manifest from a source
+directory:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ manifestparser [options] update manifest from_directory -tag1 -tag2 `key1=value1 `key2=value2 ...
+
+Usage example
+`````````````
+
+Here is an example of how to create manifests for a directory tree and
+update the tests listed in the manifests from an external source.
+
+Creating Manifests
+``````````````````
+
+Let's say you want to make a series of manifests for a given directory structure containing `.js` test files:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/testAwesomeBar/
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/testPreferences/
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/testPrivateBrowsing/
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/testSessionStore/
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/testTechnicalTools/
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/testToolbar/
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/restartTests
+
+You can use `manifestparser create` to do this:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ $ manifestparser help create
+ Usage: manifestparser.py [options] create directory <directory> <...>
+
+ create a manifest from a list of directories
+
+ Options:
+ -p PATTERN, `pattern=PATTERN
+ glob pattern for files
+ -i IGNORE, `ignore=IGNORE
+ directories to ignore
+ -w IN_PLACE, --in-place=IN_PLACE
+ Write .ini files in place; filename to write to
+
+We only want `.js` files and we want to skip the `restartTests` directory.
+We also want to write a manifest per directory, so I use the `--in-place`
+option to write the manifests:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ manifestparser create . -i restartTests -p '*.js' -w manifest.ini
+
+This creates a manifest.ini per directory that we care about with the JS test files:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/manifest.ini
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/testAwesomeBar/manifest.ini
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/testPreferences/manifest.ini
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/testPrivateBrowsing/manifest.ini
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/testSessionStore/manifest.ini
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/testTechnicalTools/manifest.ini
+ testing/mozmill/tests/firefox/testToolbar/manifest.ini
+
+The top-level `manifest.ini` merely has `[include:]` references to the sub manifests:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ [include:testAwesomeBar/manifest.ini]
+ [include:testPreferences/manifest.ini]
+ [include:testPrivateBrowsing/manifest.ini]
+ [include:testSessionStore/manifest.ini]
+ [include:testTechnicalTools/manifest.ini]
+ [include:testToolbar/manifest.ini]
+
+Each sub-level manifest contains the (`.js`) test files relative to it.
+
+Updating the tests from manifests
+`````````````````````````````````
+
+You may need to update tests as given in manifests from a different source directory.
+`manifestparser update` was made for just this purpose:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ Usage: manifestparser [options] update manifest directory -tag1 -tag2 `key1=value1 --key2=value2 ...
+
+ update the tests as listed in a manifest from a directory
+
+To update from a directory of tests in `~/mozmill/src/mozmill-tests/firefox/` run:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ manifestparser update manifest.ini ~/mozmill/src/mozmill-tests/firefox/
+
+Tests
+`````
+
+manifestparser includes a suite of tests:
+
+https://github.com/mozilla/mozbase/tree/master/manifestparsery/tests
+
+`test_manifest.txt` is a doctest that may be helpful in figuring out
+how to use the API. Tests are run via `python test.py`.

+
+Design Considerations
+`````````````````````
+
+Contrary to some opinion, manifestparser.py and the associated .ini
+format were not magically plucked from the sky but were descended upon
+through several design considerations.
+
+* test manifests should be ordered. While python 2.6 and greater has
+ a ConfigParser that can use an ordered dictionary, it is a
+ requirement that we support python 2.4 for the build + testing
+ environment. To that end, a `read_ini` function was implemented
+ in manifestparser.py that should be the equivalent of the .ini
+ dialect used by ConfigParser.
+
+* the manifest format should be easily human readable/writable. While
+ there was initially some thought of using JSON, there was pushback
+ that JSON was not easily editable. An ideal manifest format would
+ degenerate to a line-separated list of files. While .ini format
+ requires an additional `[]` per line, and while there have been
+ complaints about this, hopefully this is good enough.
+
+* python does not have an in-built YAML parser. Since it was
+ undesirable for manifestparser.py to have any dependencies, YAML was
+ dismissed as a format.
+
+* we could have used a proprietary format but decided against it.
+ Everyone knows .ini and there are good tools to deal with it.
+ However, since read_ini is the only function that transforms a
+ manifest to a list of key, value pairs, while the implications for
+ changing the format impacts downstream code, doing so should be
+ programmatically simple.
+
+* there should be a single file that may easily be
+ transported. Traditionally, test harnesses have lived in
+ mozilla-central. This is less true these days and it is increasingly
+ likely that more tests will not live in mozilla-central going
+ forward. So `manifestparser.py` should be highly consumable. To
+ this end, it is a single file, as appropriate to mozilla-central,
+ which is also a working python package deployed to PyPI for easy
+ installation.

+:mod:`mozdevice` --- Interact with remote devices
+=================================================
+
+Mozdevice provides several interfaces to interact with a remote device
+such as an Android- or FirefoxOS-based phone. It allows you to push
+files to these types of devices, launch processes, and more. There are
+currently two available interfaces:
+
+* :ref:`DeviceManager`: Works either via ADB or a custom TCP protocol
+ (the latter requires an agent application running on the device).
+* :ref:`ADB`: Uses the Android Debugger Protocol explicitly
+
+In general, new code should use the ADB abstraction where possible as
+it is simpler and more reliable.
+
+.. automodule:: mozdevice

+DeviceManager interface
+-----------------------
+.. autoclass:: DeviceManager
+
+Here's an example script which lists the files in '/mnt/sdcard' and sees if a
+process called 'org.mozilla.fennec' is running. In this example, we're
+instantiating the DeviceManagerADB implementation, but we could just
+as easily have used DeviceManagerSUT (assuming the device had an agent
+running speaking the SUT protocol).
+
+::
+
+ import mozdevice
+
+ dm = mozdevice.DeviceManagerADB()
+ print dm.listFiles("/mnt/sdcard")
+ if dm.processExist("org.mozilla.fennec"):
+ print "Fennec is running"

+:mod:`mozinfo` --- Get system information
+=========================================
+
+Throughout `mozmill <https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozmill>`_
+and other Mozilla python code, checking the underlying
+platform is done in many different ways. The various checks needed
+lead to a lot of copy+pasting, leaving the reader to wonder....is this
+specific check necessary for (e.g.) an operating system? Because
+information is not consolidated, checks are not done consistently, nor
+is it defined what we are checking for.
+
+`mozinfo <https://github.com/mozilla/mozbase/tree/master/mozinfo>`_
+proposes to solve this problem. mozinfo is a bridge interface,
+making the underlying (complex) plethora of OS and architecture
+combinations conform to a subset of values of relevance to
+Mozilla software. The current implementation exposes relevant keys and
+values such as: ``os``, ``version``, ``bits``, and ``processor``. Additionally, the
+service pack in use is available on the windows platform.
+
+
+API Usage
+---------
+
+mozinfo is a python package. Downloading the software and running
+``python setup.py develop`` will allow you to do ``import mozinfo``
+from python.
+`mozinfo.py <https://raw.github.com/mozilla/mozbase/master/mozinfo/mozinfo/mozinfo.py>`_
+is the only file contained is this package,
+so if you need a single-file solution, you can just download or call
+this file through the web.
+
+The top level attributes (``os``, ``version``, ``bits``, ``processor``) are
+available as module globals::
+
+ if mozinfo.os == 'win': ...
+
+In addition, mozinfo exports a dictionary, ``mozinfo.info``, that
+contain these values. mozinfo also exports:
+
+- ``choices``: a dictionary of possible values for os, bits, and
+ processor
+- ``main``: the console_script entry point for mozinfo
+- ``unknown``: a singleton denoting a value that cannot be determined
+
+``unknown`` has the string representation ``"UNKNOWN"``.
+``unknown`` will evaluate as ``False`` in python::
+
+ if not mozinfo.os: ... # unknown!
+
+
+Command Line Usage
+------------------
+
+mozinfo comes with a command line program, ``mozinfo`` which may be used to
+diagnose one's current system.
+
+Example output::
+
+ os: linux
+ version: Ubuntu 10.10
+ bits: 32
+ processor: x86
+
+Three of these fields, os, bits, and processor, have a finite set of
+choices. You may display the value of these choices using
+``mozinfo --os``, ``mozinfo --bits``, and ``mozinfo --processor``.
+``mozinfo --help`` documents command-line usage.

+:mod:`mozlog` --- Structured logging for test output
+===============================================================
+
+:py:mod:`mozlog` is a library designed for logging the
+execution and results of test harnesses. The internal data model is a
+stream of JSON-compatible objects, with one object per log entry. The
+default output format is line-based, with one JSON object serialized
+per line.
+
+:py:mod:`mozlog` is *not* based on the stdlib logging
+module, although it shares several concepts with it.
+
+One notable difference between this module and the standard logging
+module is the way that loggers are created. The structured logging
+module does not require that loggers with a specific name are
+singleton objects accessed through a factory function. Instead the
+``StructuredLogger`` constructor may be used directly. However all
+loggers with the same name share the same internal state (the "Borg"
+pattern). In particular the list of handler functions is the same for
+all loggers with the same name.
+
+Typically, you would only instantiate one logger object per
+program. Two convenience methods are provided to set and get the
+default logger in the program.
+
+Logging is threadsafe, with access to handlers protected by a
+``threading.Lock``. However it is `not` process-safe. This means that
+applications using multiple processes, e.g. via the
+``multiprocessing`` module, should arrange for all logging to happen in
+a single process.
+
+Data Format
+-----------
+
+Structured loggers produce messages in a simple format designed to be
+compatible with the JSON data model. Each message is a single object,
+with the type of message indicated by the ``action`` key. It is
+intended that the set of ``action`` values be closed; where there are
+use cases for additional values they should be integrated into this
+module rather than extended in an ad-hoc way. The set of keys present
+on on all messages is:
+
+``action``
+ The type of the message (string).
+
+``time``
+ The timestamp of the message in ms since the epoch (int).
+
+``thread``
+ The name of the thread emitting the message (string).
+
+``pid``
+ The pid of the process creating the message (int).
+
+``source``
+ Name of the logger creating the message (string).
+
+For each ``action`` there are is a further set of specific fields
+describing the details of the event that caused the message to be
+emitted:
+
+``suite_start``
+ Emitted when the testsuite starts running.
+
+ ``tests``
+ A list of test ids. Test ids can either be strings or lists of
+ strings (an example of the latter is reftests where the id has the
+ form [test_url, ref_type, ref_url]) and are assumed to be unique
+ within a given testsuite. In cases where the test list is not
+ known upfront an empty list may be passed (list).
+
+ ``run_info``
+ An optional dictionary describing the properties of the
+ build and test environment. This contains the information provided
+ by :doc:`mozinfo <mozinfo>`, plus a boolean ``debug`` field indicating
+ whether the build under test is a debug build.
+
+``suite_end``
+ Emitted when the testsuite is finished and no more results will be produced.
+
+``test_start``
+ Emitted when a test is being started.
+
+ ``test``
+ A unique id for the test (string or list of strings).
+
+ ``path``
+ Optional path to the test relative to some base (typically the root of the
+ source tree). Mainly used when ``test`` id is not a path (string).
+
+``test_status``
+ Emitted for a test which has subtests to record the result of a
+ single subtest.
+
+ ``test``
+ The same unique id for the test as in the ``test_start`` message.
+
+ ``subtest``
+ Name of the subtest (string).
+
+ ``status``
+ Result of the test (string enum; ``PASS``, ``FAIL``, ``TIMEOUT``,
+ ``NOTRUN``)
+
+ ``expected``
+ Expected result of the test. Omitted if the expected result is the
+ same as the actual result (string enum, same as ``status``).
+
+``test_end``
+ Emitted to give the result of a test with no subtests, or the status
+ of the overall file when there are subtests.
+
+ ``test``
+ The same unique id for the test as in the ``test_start`` message.
+
+ ``status``
+ Either result of the test (if there are no subtests) in which case
+ (string enum ``PASS``, ``FAIL``, ``TIMEOUT``, ``CRASH``,
+ ``ASSERT``, ``SKIP``) or the status of the overall file where
+ there are subtests (string enum ``OK``, ``ERROR``, ``TIMEOUT``,
+ ``CRASH``, ``ASSERT``, ``SKIP``).
+
+ ``expected``
+ The expected status, or omitted if the expected status matches the
+ actual status (string enum, same as ``status``).
+
+``process_output``
+ Output from a managed subprocess.
+
+ ``process``
+ pid of the subprocess.
+
+ ``command``
+ Command used to launch the subprocess.
+
+ ``data``
+ Data output by the subprocess.
+
+``log``
+ General human-readable logging message, used to debug the harnesses
+ themselves rather than to provide input to other tools.
+
+ ``level``
+ Level of the log message (string enum ``CRITICAL``, ``ERROR``,
+ ``WARNING``, ``INFO``, ``DEBUG``).
+
+ ``message``
+ Text of the log message.
+
+Testsuite Protocol
+------------------
+
+When used for testsuites, the following structured logging messages must be emitted:
+
+ * One ``suite_start`` message before any ``test_*`` messages
+
+ * One ``test_start`` message per test that is run
+
+ * One ``test_status`` message per subtest that is run. This might be
+ zero if the test type doesn't have the notion of subtests.
+
+ * One ``test_end`` message per test that is run, after the
+ ``test_start`` and any ``test_status`` messages for that same test.
+
+ * One ``suite_end`` message after all ``test_*`` messages have been
+ emitted.
+
+The above mandatory events may be interspersed with ``process_output``
+and ``log`` events, as required.
+
+Subtests
+~~~~~~~~
+
+The purpose of subtests is to deal with situations where a single test
+produces more than one result, and the exact details of the number of
+results is not known ahead of time. For example consider a test
+harness that loads JavaScript-based tests in a browser. Each url
+loaded would be a single test, with corresponding ``test_start`` and
+``test_end`` messages. If there can be more than one JS-defined test
+on a page, however, it it useful to track the results of those tests
+seperately. Therefore each of those tests is a subtest, and one
+``test_status`` message must be generated for each subtest result.
+
+Subtests must have a name that is unique within their parent test.
+
+Whether or not a test has subtests changes the meaning of the
+``status`` property on the test itself. When the test does not have
+any subtests, this property is the actual test result such as ``PASS``
+or ``FAIL`` . When a test does have subtests, the test itself does not
+have a result as-such; it isn't meaningful to describe it as having a
+``PASS`` result, especially if the subtests did not all pass. Instead
+this property is used to hold information about whether the test ran
+without error. If no errors were detected the test must be given the
+status ``OK``. Otherwise the test may get the status ``ERROR`` (for
+e.g. uncaught JS exceptions), ``TIMEOUT`` (if no results were reported
+in the allowed time) or ``CRASH`` (if the test caused the process
+under test to crash).

+
+Handlers
+--------
+
+A handler is a callable that is called for each log message produced
+and is responsible for handling the processing of that
+message. The typical example of this is a ``StreamHandler`` which takes
+a log message, invokes a formatter which converts the log to a string,
+and writes it to a file.

+.. autoclass:: LogLevelFilter

+
+.. autoclass:: BufferHandler
+ :members:
+
+Formatters
+----------
+
+Formatters are callables that take a log message, and return either a
+string representation of that message, or ``None`` if that message
+should not appear in the output. This allows formatters to both
+exclude certain items and create internal buffers of the output so
+that, for example, a single string might be returned for a
+``test_end`` message indicating the overall result of the test,
+including data provided in the ``test_status`` messages.
+
+Formatter modules are written so that they can take raw input on stdin
+and write formatted output on stdout. This allows the formatters to be
+invoked as part of a command line for post-processing raw log files.

+
+Processing Log Files
+--------------------
+
+The ``mozlog.reader`` module provides utilities for working
+with structured log files.
+
+.. automodule:: mozlog.reader
+ :members:
+
+Integration with argparse
+-------------------------
+
+The `mozlog.commandline` module provides integration with the `argparse`
+module to provide uniform logging-related command line arguments to programs
+using `mozlog`. Each known formatter gets a command line argument of the form
+``--log-{name}``, which takes the name of a file to log to with that format,
+or ``-`` to indicate stdout.
+
+.. automodule:: mozlog.commandline
+ :members:
+
+Simple Examples
+---------------
+
+Log to stdout::
+
+ from mozlog import structuredlog
+ from mozlog import handlers, formatters
+ logger = structuredlog.StructuredLogger("my-test-suite")
+ logger.add_handler(handlers.StreamHandler(sys.stdout,
+ formatters.JSONFormatter()))
+ logger.suite_start(["test-id-1"])
+ logger.test_start("test-id-1")
+ logger.info("This is a message with action='LOG' and level='INFO'")
+ logger.test_status("test-id-1", "subtest-1", "PASS")
+ logger.test_end("test-id-1", "OK")
+ logger.suite_end()
+
+
+Populate an ``argparse.ArgumentParser`` with logging options, and
+create a logger based on the value of those options, defaulting to
+JSON output on stdout if nothing else is supplied::
+
+ import argparse
+ from mozlog import commandline
+
+ parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
+ # Here one would populate the parser with other options
+ commandline.add_logging_group(parser)
+
+ args = parser.parse_args()
+ logger = commandline.setup_logging("testsuite-name", args, {"raw": sys.stdout})
+
+Count the number of tests that timed out in a testsuite::
+
+ from mozlog import reader
+
+ count = 0
+
+ def handle_test_end(data):
+ global count
+ if data["status"] == "TIMEOUT":
+ count += 1
+
+ reader.each_log(reader.read("my_test_run.log"),
+ {"test_end": handle_test_end})
+
+ print count
+
+More Complete Example
+---------------------
+
+This example shows a complete toy testharness set up to used
+structured logging. It is avaliable as `structured_example.py <_static/structured_example.py>`_:
+
+.. literalinclude:: _static/structured_example.py
+
+Each global function with a name starting
+``test_`` represents a test. A passing test returns without
+throwing. A failing test throws a :py:class:`TestAssertion` exception
+via the :py:func:`assert_equals` function. Throwing anything else is
+considered an error in the test. There is also a :py:func:`expected`
+decorator that is used to annotate tests that are expected to do
+something other than pass.
+
+The main entry point to the test runner is via that :py:func:`main`
+function. This is responsible for parsing command line
+arguments, and initiating the test run. Although the test harness
+itself does not provide any command line arguments, the
+:py:class:`ArgumentParser` object is populated by
+:py:meth:`commandline.add_logging_group`, which provides a generic
+set of structured logging arguments appropriate to all tools producing
+structured logging.
+
+The values of these command line arguments are used to create a
+:py:class:`mozlog.StructuredLogger` object populated with the
+specified handlers and formatters in
+:py:func:`commandline.setup_logging`. The third argument to this
+function is the default arguments to use. In this case the default
+is to output raw (i.e. JSON-formatted) logs to stdout.
+
+The main test harness is provided by the :py:class:`TestRunner`
+class. This class is responsible for scheduling all the tests and
+logging all the results. It is passed the :py:obj:`logger` object
+created from the command line arguments. The :py:meth:`run` method
+starts the test run. Before the run is started it logs a
+``suite_start`` message containing the id of each test that will run,
+and after the testrun is done it logs a ``suite_end`` message.
+
+Individual tests are run in the :py:meth:`run_test` method. For each
+test this logs a ``test_start`` message. It then runs the test and
+logs a ``test_end`` message containing the test name, status, expected
+status, and any informational message about the reason for the
+result. In this test harness there are no subtests, so the
+``test_end`` message has the status of the test and there are no
+``test_status`` messages.
+
+Example Output

+When run without providing any command line options, the raw
+structured log messages are sent to stdout::

+:mod:`mozprocess` --- Launch and manage processes
+=================================================
+
+Mozprocess is a process-handling module that provides some additional
+features beyond those available with python's subprocess:
+
+* better handling of child processes, especially on Windows
+* the ability to timeout the process after some absolute period, or some
+ period without any data written to stdout/stderr
+* the ability to specify output handlers that will be called
+ for each line of output produced by the process
+* the ability to specify handlers that will be called on process timeout
+ and normal process termination
+
+Running a process
+-----------------
+
+mozprocess consists of two classes: ProcessHandler inherits from ProcessHandlerMixin.
+
+Let's see how to run a process.
+First, the class should be instanciated with at least one argument which is a command (or a list formed by the command followed by its arguments).
+Then the process can be launched using the *run()* method.
+Finally the *wait()* method will wait until end of execution.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from mozprocess import processhandler
+
+ # under Windows replace by command = ['dir', '/a']
+ command = ['ls', '-l']
+ p = processhandler.ProcessHandler(command)
+ print("execute command: %s" % p.commandline)
+ p.run()
+ p.wait()
+
+Note that using *ProcessHandler* instead of *ProcessHandlerMixin* will print the output of executed command. The attribute *commandline* provides the launched command.
+
+Collecting process output
+-------------------------
+
+Let's now consider a basic shell script that will print numbers from 1 to 5 waiting 1 second between each.
+This script will be used as a command to launch in further examples.
+
+**proc_sleep_echo.sh**:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+
+ for i in 1 2 3 4 5
+ do
+ echo $i
+ sleep 1
+ done
+
+If you are running under Windows, you won't be able to use the previous script (unless using Cygwin).
+So you'll use the following script:
+
+**proc_sleep_echo.bat**:
+
+.. code-block:: bat
+
+ @echo off
+ FOR %%A IN (1 2 3 4 5) DO (
+ ECHO %%A
+ REM if you have TIMEOUT then use it instead of PING
+ REM TIMEOUT /T 1 /NOBREAK
+ PING -n 2 127.0.0.1 > NUL
+ )
+
+Mozprocess allows the specification of custom output handlers to gather process output while running.
+ProcessHandler will by default write all outputs on stdout. You can also provide (to ProcessHandler or ProcessHandlerMixin) a function or a list of functions that will be used as callbacks on each output line generated by the process.
+
+In the following example the command's output will be stored in a file *output.log* and printed in stdout:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import sys
+ from mozprocess import processhandler
+
+ fd = open('output.log', 'w')
+
+ def tostdout(line):
+ sys.stdout.write("<%s>\n" % line)
+
+ def tofile(line):
+ fd.write("<%s>\n" % line)
+
+ # under Windows you'll replace by 'proc_sleep_echo.bat'
+ command = './proc_sleep_echo.sh'
+ outputs = [tostdout, tofile]
+
+ p = processhandler.ProcessHandlerMixin(command, processOutputLine=outputs)
+ p.run()
+ p.wait()
+
+ fd.close()
+
+The process output can be saved (*obj = ProcessHandler(..., storeOutput=True)*) so as it is possible to request it (*obj.output*) at any time. Note that the default value for *stroreOutput* is *True*, so it is not necessary to provide it in the parameters.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import time
+ import sys
+ from mozprocess import processhandler
+
+ command = './proc_sleep_echo.sh' # Windows: 'proc_sleep_echo.bat'
+
+ p = processhandler.ProcessHandler(command, storeOutput=True)
+ p.run()
+ for i in xrange(10):
+ print(p.output)
+ time.sleep(0.5)
+ p.wait()
+
+In previous example, you will see the *p.output* list growing.
+
+Execution
+---------
+
+Status
+``````
+
+It is possible to query the status of the process via *poll()* that will return None if the process is still running, 0 if it ended without failures and a negative value if it was killed by a signal (Unix-only).
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import time
+ import signal
+ from mozprocess import processhandler
+
+ command = './proc_sleep_echo.sh'
+ p = processhandler.ProcessHandler(command)
+ p.run()
+ time.sleep(2)
+ print("poll status: %s" % p.poll())
+ time.sleep(1)
+ p.kill(signal.SIGKILL)
+ print("poll status: %s" % p.poll())
+
+Timeout
+```````
+
+A timeout can be provided to the *run()* method. If the process last more than timeout seconds, it will be stopped.
+
+After execution, the property *timedOut* will be set to True if a timeout was reached.
+
+It is also possible to provide functions (*obj = ProcessHandler[Mixin](..., onTimeout=functions)*) that will be called if the timeout was reached.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from mozprocess import processhandler
+
+ def ontimeout():
+ print("REACHED TIMEOUT")
+
+ command = './proc_sleep_echo.sh' # Windows: 'proc_sleep_echo.bat'
+ functions = [ontimeout]
+ p = processhandler.ProcessHandler(command, onTimeout=functions)
+ p.run(timeout=2)
+ p.wait()
+ print("timedOut = %s" % p.timedOut)
+
+By default the process will be killed on timeout but it is possible to prevent this by setting *kill_on_timeout* to *False*.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ p = processhandler.ProcessHandler(command, onTimeout=functions, kill_on_timeout=False)
+ p.run(timeout=2)
+ p.wait()
+ print("timedOut = %s" % p.timedOut)
+
+In this case, no output will be available after the timeout, but the process will still be running.
+
+Waiting
+```````
+
+It is possible to wait until the process exits as already seen with the method *wait()*, or until the end of a timeout if given. Note that in last case the process is still alive after the timeout.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ command = './proc_sleep_echo.sh' # Windows: 'proc_sleep_echo.bat'
+ p = processhandler.ProcessHandler(command)
+ p.run()
+ p.wait(timeout=2)
+ print("timedOut = %s" % p.timedOut)
+ p.wait()
+
+Killing
+```````
+
+You can request to kill the process with the method *kill*. f the parameter "ignore_children" is set to False when the process handler class is initialized, all the process's children will be killed as well.
+
+Except on Windows, you can specify the signal with which to kill method the process (e.g.: *kill(signal.SIGKILL)*).
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import time
+ from mozprocess import processhandler
+
+ command = './proc_sleep_echo.sh' # Windows: 'proc_sleep_echo.bat'
+ p = processhandler.ProcessHandler(command)
+ p.run()
+ time.sleep(2)
+ p.kill()
+
+End of execution
+````````````````
+
+You can provide a function or a list of functions to call at the end of the process using the initilization parameter *onFinish*.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from mozprocess import processhandler
+
+ def finish():
+ print("Finished!!")
+
+ command = './proc_sleep_echo.sh' # Windows: 'proc_sleep_echo.bat'
+
+ p = processhandler.ProcessHandler(command, onFinish=finish)
+ p.run()
+ p.wait()
+
+Child management
+----------------
+
+Consider the following scripts:
+
+**proc_child.sh**:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+ for i in a b c d e
+ do
+ echo $i
+ sleep 1
+ done
+
+**proc_parent.sh**:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+ ./proc_child.sh
+ for i in 1 2 3 4 5
+ do
+ echo $i
+ sleep 1
+ done
+
+For windows users consider:
+
+**proc_child.bat**:
+
+.. code-block:: bat
+
+ @echo off
+ FOR %%A IN (a b c d e) DO (
+ ECHO %%A
+ REM TIMEOUT /T 1 /NOBREAK
+ PING -n 2 127.0.0.1 > NUL
+ )
+
+**proc_parent.bat**:
+
+.. code-block:: bat
+
+ @echo off
+ call proc_child.bat
+ FOR %%A IN (1 2 3 4 5) DO (
+ ECHO %%A
+ REM TIMEOUT /T 1 /NOBREAK
+ PING -n 2 127.0.0.1 > NUL
+ )
+
+For processes that launch other processes, mozprocess allows you to get child running status, wait for child termination, and kill children.
+
+Ignoring children
+`````````````````
+
+By default the *ignore_children* option is False. In that case, killing the main process will kill all its children at the same time.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import time
+ from mozprocess import processhandler
+
+ def finish():
+ print("Finished")
+
+ command = './proc_parent.sh'
+ p = processhandler.ProcessHandler(command, ignore_children=False, onFinish=finish)
+ p.run()
+ time.sleep(2)
+ print("kill")
+ p.kill()
+
+If *ignore_children* is set to *True*, killing will apply only to the main process that will wait children end of execution before stoping (join).
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import time
+ from mozprocess import processhandler
+
+ def finish():
+ print("Finished")
+
+ command = './proc_parent.sh'
+ p = processhandler.ProcessHandler(command, ignore_children=True, onFinish=finish)
+ p.run()
+ time.sleep(2)
+ print("kill")
+ p.kill()

+:mod:`mozprofile` --- Create and modify Mozilla application profiles
+====================================================================
+
+Mozprofile_ is a python tool for creating and managing profiles for Mozilla's
+applications (Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.). In addition to creating profiles,
+mozprofile can install addons_ and set preferences_ Mozprofile can be utilized
+from the command line or as an API.
+
+The preferred way of setting up profile data (addons, permissions, preferences
+etc) is by passing them to the profile_ constructor.
+
+Addons
+------
+
+.. automodule:: mozprofile.addons
+ :members:
+
+Addons may be installed individually or from a manifest.
+
+Example::
+
+ from mozprofile import FirefoxProfile
+
+ # create new profile to pass to mozmill/mozrunner
+ profile = FirefoxProfile(addons=["adblock.xpi"])
+
+Command Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+.. automodule:: mozprofile.cli
+ :members:
+
+The profile to be operated on may be specified with the ``--profile``
+switch. If a profile is not specified, one will be created in a
+temporary directory which will be echoed to the terminal::
+
+ (mozmill)> mozprofile
+ /tmp/tmp4q1iEU.mozrunner
+ (mozmill)> ls /tmp/tmp4q1iEU.mozrunner
+ user.js
+
+To run mozprofile from the command line enter:
+``mozprofile --help`` for a list of options.
+
+Permissions
+-----------
+
+.. automodule:: mozprofile.permissions
+ :members:
+
+You can set permissions by creating a ``ServerLocations`` object that you pass
+to the ``Profile`` constructor. Hosts can be added to it with
+``add_host(host, port)``. ``port`` can be 0.
+
+Preferences
+-----------
+
+.. automodule:: mozprofile.prefs
+ :members:
+
+Preferences can be set in several ways:
+
+- using the API: You can make a dictionary with the preferences and pass it to
+ the ``Profile`` constructor. You can also add more preferences with the
+ ``Profile.set_preferences`` method.
+- using a JSON blob file: ``mozprofile --preferences myprefs.json``
+- using a ``.ini`` file: ``mozprofile --preferences myprefs.ini``
+- via the command line: ``mozprofile --pref key:value --pref key:value [...]``
+
+When setting preferences from an ``.ini`` file or the ``--pref`` switch,
+the value will be interpolated as an integer or a boolean
+(``true``/``false``) if possible.
+
+Profile
+--------------------
+
+.. automodule:: mozprofile.profile
+ :members:
+
+Resources
+-----------
+Other Mozilla programs offer additional and overlapping functionality
+for profiles. There is also substantive documentation on profiles and
+their management.
+
+- ProfileManager_: XULRunner application for managing profiles. Has a GUI and CLI.
+- python-profilemanager_: python CLI interface similar to ProfileManager
+- profile documentation_

+:mod:`mozrunner` --- Manage remote and local gecko processes
+============================================================
+
+Mozrunner provides an API to manage a gecko-based application with an
+arbitrary configuration profile. It currently supports local desktop
+binaries such as Firefox and Thunderbird, as well as Firefox OS on
+mobile devices and emulators.
+
+
+Basic usage
+-----------
+
+The simplest way to use mozrunner, is to instantiate a runner, start it
+and then wait for it to finish:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from mozrunner import FirefoxRunner
+ binary = 'path/to/firefox/binary'
+ runner = FirefoxRunner(binary=binary)
+ runner.start()
+ runner.wait()
+
+This automatically creates and uses a default mozprofile object. If you
+wish to use a specialized or pre-existing profile, you can create a
+:doc:`mozprofile <mozprofile>` object and pass it in:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from mozprofile import FirefoxProfile
+ from mozrunner import FirefoxRunner
+ import os
+
+ binary = 'path/to/firefox/binary'
+ profile_path = 'path/to/profile'
+ if os.path.exists(profile_path):
+ profile = FirefoxProfile.clone(path_from=profile_path)
+ else:
+ profile = FirefoxProfile(profile=profile_path)
+ runner = FirefoxRunner(binary=binary, profile=profile)
+ runner.start()
+ runner.wait()
+
+
+Handling output
+---------------
+
+By default, mozrunner dumps the output of the gecko process to standard output.
+It is possible to add arbitrary output handlers by passing them in via the
+`process_args` argument. Be careful, passing in a handler overrides the default
+behaviour. So if you want to use a handler in addition to dumping to stdout, you
+need to specify that explicitly. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from mozrunner import FirefoxRunner
+
+ def handle_output_line(line):
+ do_something(line)
+
+ binary = 'path/to/firefox/binary'
+ process_args = { 'stream': sys.stdout,
+ 'processOutputLine': [handle_output_line] }
+ runner = FirefoxRunner(binary=binary, process_args=process_args)
+
+Mozrunner uses :doc:`mozprocess <mozprocess>` to manage the underlying gecko
+process and handle output. See the :doc:`mozprocess documentation <mozprocess>`
+for all available arguments accepted by `process_args`.
+
+
+Handling timeouts
+-----------------
+
+Sometimes gecko can hang, or maybe it is just taking too long. To handle this case you
+may want to set a timeout. Mozrunner has two kinds of timeouts, the
+traditional `timeout`, and the `outputTimeout`. These get passed into the
+`runner.start()` method. Setting `timeout` will cause gecko to be killed after
+the specified number of seconds, no matter what. Setting `outputTimeout` will cause
+gecko to be killed after the specified number of seconds with no output. In both
+cases the process handler's `onTimeout` callbacks will be triggered.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from mozrunner import FirefoxRunner
+
+ def on_timeout():
+ print('timed out after 10 seconds with no output!')
+
+ binary = 'path/to/firefox/binary'
+ process_args = { 'onTimeout': on_timeout }
+ runner = FirefoxRunner(binary=binary, process_args=process_args)
+ runner.start(outputTimeout=10)
+ runner.wait()
+
+The `runner.wait()` method also accepts a timeout argument. But unlike the arguments
+to `runner.start()`, this one simply returns from the wait call and does not kill the
+gecko process.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ runner.start(timeout=100)
+
+ waiting = 0
+ while runner.wait(timeout=1) is None:
+ waiting += 1
+ print("Been waiting for %d seconds so far.." % waiting)
+ assert waiting <= 100
+
+
+Using a device runner
+---------------------
+
+The previous examples used a GeckoRuntimeRunner. If you want to control a
+gecko process on a remote device, you need to use a DeviceRunner. The api is
+nearly identical except you don't pass in a binary, instead you create a device
+object. For example, for B2G (Firefox OS) emulators you might do:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from mozrunner import B2GEmulatorRunner
+
+ b2g_home = 'path/to/B2G'
+ runner = B2GEmulatorRunner(arch='arm', b2g_home=b2g_home)
+ runner.start()
+ runner.wait()
+
+Device runners have a `device` object. Remember that the gecko process runs on
+the device. In the case of the emulator, it is possible to start the
+device independently of the gecko process.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ runner.device.start() # launches the emulator (which also launches gecko)
+ runner.start() # stops the gecko process, installs the profile, restarts the gecko process
+

+:mod:`mozversion` --- Get application information
+=================================================
+
+`mozversion <https://github.com/mozilla/mozbase/tree/master/mozversion>`_
+provides version information such as the application name and the changesets
+that it has been built from. This is commonly used in reporting or for
+conditional logic based on the application under test.
+
+Note that mozversion can report the version of remote devices (e.g. Firefox OS)
+but it requires the :mod:`mozdevice` dependency in that case. You can require it
+along with mozversion by using the extra *device* dependency:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ pip install mozversion[device]
+
+
+API Usage
+---------
+
+.. automodule:: mozversion
+ :members: get_version
+
+Examples
+````````
+
+Firefox::
+
+ import mozversion
+
+ version = mozversion.get_version(binary='/path/to/firefox-bin')
+ for (key, value) in sorted(version.items()):
+ if value:
+ print '%s: %s' % (key, value)
+
+Firefox for Android::
+
+ version = mozversion.get_version(binary='path/to/firefox.apk')
+ print version['application_changeset'] # gets hg revision of build
+
+FirefoxOS::
+
+ version = mozversion.get_version(sources='path/to/sources.xml', dm_type='adb')
+ print version['gaia_changeset'] # gets gaia git revision
+
+Command Line Usage
+------------------
+
+mozversion comes with a command line program, ``mozversion`` which may be used to
+get version information from an application.
+
+Usage::
+
+ mozversion [options]
+
+Options
+```````
+
+---binary
+'''''''''
+
+This is the path to the target application binary or .apk. If this is omitted
+then the current directory is checked for the existance of an
+application.ini file. If not found, then it is assumed the target
+application is a remote Firefox OS instance.
+
+
+---sources
+''''''''''
+
+The path to the sources.xml that accompanies the target application (Firefox OS
+only). If this is omitted then the current directory is checked for the
+existance of a sources.xml file.
+
+Examples
